Toshiba laptops are known as the best laptops in the market. >Dell and IBM laptops are not well respected. In short, a Toshiba or a Compaq. Limiting factor of the life time of a LCD monitor is the backlight. It has a mean life time of about 20000 hours. If you work 10 hours every day you need a new backlight after 5 and a half year. Mostly the backlight can be exchanged. Many other parts of a computer are sooner out of order. Ralf
